Transmitting HTTP requests and responses holding String in their payload bodies.
This is one of the implementation modules for the Network.HTTP interface, representing
request and response content as Strings and transmitting them in non-packed form
(cf. Network.HTTP.HandleStream and its use of ByteStrings.) over Stream handles.
It is mostly here for backwards compatibility, representing how requests and responses
were transmitted up until the 4.x releases of the HTTP package.

For more detailed information about what the individual exports do, please consult
the documentation for Network.HTTP. Notice however that the functions here do
not perform any kind of normalization prior to transmission (or receipt); you are
responsible for doing any such yourself, or, if you prefer, just switch to using
Network.HTTP function instead.
